    In spite of decades of research and the enormous progress made, chemists continue to grapple with poorly understood aspects of the world around us. This collection aims to uncover open questions across the breadth of the chemical sciences. Each Comment provides an overview of a focused field of research, identifies key open questions, and gives expert opinion on how challenges in answering these questions might be overcome.

    Open for submissions

  • Collection |

    In this open collection, we aim to publish articles in multidisciplinary areas dedicated to the recent development of FEL sources and their applications. This collection will feature technical and instrumental progress in the generation of FEL pulses at higher repetition rates and their spectral and temporal characterization.
